Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Charles Munch To mark the centennial of the birth of Charles Munch, the Boston Symphony Archives has mounted a display of memorabilia in the Cohen Wing lobby. Using photographs, letters, programs, and other historical documents, the exhibit explores the career of Charles Munch, focusing on his tenure as Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1949 to 1962. In the photograph above, Munch (right) is shown with guest conductor Pierre Monteux (left), himself music director of the BSO from 1919 to 1924, and the train conductor just prior to departing on the BSO's transconti- nental tour in 1953. The Boston Symphony Archives extends special thanks to Bunnell Frame Shop for its generous assistance in mounting this exhibit. Culture is not just an ornament; it is the expression n a nation's character . Because culture touches on the noblest impulses within us all, The Boston Company believes our cultural institutions are central to the dignity of every individual. Which is why, in addition to our enthusiastic support of many educational and social causes in our community — including the needs of the homeless — the people of The Boston Company continue to contribute to such cultural institutions as The Boston Symphony Orchestra. We urge that you, too, lend it your continuous and generous support.
